A lot of people don't completely fill out a ballot because they don't understand or have knowlege about certain items like referendums for instance.

In these scenarios, if the ballot isn't completely filled out, does it become nullified or do they count the ones checked?

Whatever they have checked is counted. No one
has to check an item for which they have no knowledge
and don't know how to vote on it. I have seen people
vote for just one person on the ballot and that's all.
That is perfectly okay. That vote is counted.

We can choose to 'abstain' on referendums and the ballot still counts for the elected, choosen individuals, or amendments.
However, it is our responsibility to search for the answers in areas we do not understand. If we pass the opportunity to make our voice heard, we shall lose allot of vital information.
Concerned this..........a proposal is placed on a ballot, 90% of the voters don't understand it and choose to abstain. The remaining 10%, of which 4% see it for the bad prop it is, while the other 6% back it without question. Guess what happens...........it gets passed an becomes law. Unpon the enactment we see have bad it truly is for the people, but only 4% voted against, while the 90% wonder 'where did this come from?'.

If a ballot is cast that does not conform to standards, that ballot is not allowed usually. For example, if someone made two punches for a President, or even a ballot initiative, there would be no vote for that category.

They count the votes that are submitted. There is no way of knowing if the voter was not understanding the issues at vote, or if they had no opinion and preferred not to vote.

They count the checked ones, but they also notify about wasted votes.

They count the ones that are checked. Your right to vote includes your right to not vote.

They count everything that has been checked. It is always good to vote for everything though. Its like taxes when they ask you on your state form about issues you do not have to amswer.

They count the items on which you vote.

They count. Be thankful for those smart enough not to vote on something they know nothing about.
